the closed oarlocks are appropriate too since we don't have much choice at navigating the flow of time. Whether we dip our hands into the water is a whole other story. It looks like you are pondering your next stroke with a clear view of where you have been wondering where hope will take you...
Thank you! What a great insight. I hadn't clearly thought about it being the moment before the stroke. I just read about the Japanese idea of "ma" -- pause, the space in between that gives meaning to the whole form.
like the breath that gives form to the sound. We are so focused on action that I think we forget to relish the moments in between, the moments we ponder and dream. I know I forget about them. I completely enjoy those moments of pause but find them to be slightly terrifying. I also find that they get lost in the daily shuffle and chaos.
